Trinity, for my birthday, I am going to try and pretend it is not happening...

BBK, as one who just crossed the Big 4-0 milestone recently, here are some of the things I found...

I have a newfound sense of freedom. Freedom not to worry about what other people think, freedom to dance like a fool if I feel like. Freedom to be the embarrassing parent I've always dreamed of being .

People seem to take me more seriously. I don't seem to get the pat-on-the-head-and-there-there-little-girlie nearly as much as I used to. WAY better.

I can still act like a teenager, and then blame it on mid-life crisis.

Turning 40 was a real blessing for me, and I hope it brings joy and all good things to you as well.

And that Mystery Train Ride sounds like a BLAST! I hope you, Copper and your mom do that one day. What an experience that would be.

Happy Birthday BBK (I know it's a few days away yet, but why not get started celebratin')
